# WCAG / ACT existing-evidence reconciliation — 24 October 2026

## Scope and method
Reconciliation of previously supplied server listings, source excerpts, Chromium test output and saved evidence. No fresh server access, browser test, payment or production change was performed. Historical observations are preserved as history, not automatically classified as current defects.

## Confirmed later passing evidence
| Area | Later evidence | Decision |
|---|---|---|
| Grabzies reflow (1.4.10) | `/shop/` and `/google-seo-audit/` at 320/375/480px, 6/6 PASS, no horizontal overflow | Later regression passed for tested pages and widths; older overflow result remains historical |
| Grabzies control contrast (1.4.11) | 16 PASS, 0 FAIL; recorded minimum ratios 6.09:1 (Shop) and 4.99:1 (Google SEO Audit) | Supersedes older low-contrast warnings for tested controls/colour pairs |
| Grabzies theme-toggle target size (2.5.8) | 44×44 CSS px; 8/8 PASS | Supersedes earlier small-target warnings for theme toggles |
| Grabzies focus obstruction | 24 Shop and 22 Google SEO Audit controls; zero obscured | Tested focus-obstruction issue closed |
| Grabzies purchase validation | Both product forms block missing variations and invalid quantities; associated error messages and ARIA states | Tested validation checks passed |
| Grabzies labels | 8/8 rendered and 8/8 accessibility-tree name checks | Tested label issue closed |
| Keyboard | Theme toggles 4/4; video controls 2/2; skip-link checks 5/5 | Tested interactions passed |
| AIWebPageSEO official ACT text-spacing | 38/38 matched | Verified test set completed |
| AIWebPageSEO text-spacing regression | 30/30 passed | Completed |
| AIWebPageSEO fixtures and readiness | 4/4 fixtures; 6/6 readiness | Completed |
| AIWebPageSEO 2.4.1 report classification | 5/5 passed | Later regression supersedes earlier classification defect |
| AIWebPageSEO frontend and report | 4/4 public assets HTTP 200; 4/4 responsive widths; report generated with 55 coverage entries, no JS errors | Tested production workflow passed |

## Reconciliation rules
1. Do not convert a historical automated finding into a present-day failure when a later matching regression passed.
2. Do not equate coverage of 55 WCAG criteria with 55 conformance passes; retain exact original report wording as historical evidence.
3. Do not treat an outdated `REVIEW` or `RETEST REQUIRED` note as a new task without comparing the later evidence and its scope. WCAG 2.4.13 Focus Appearance is AAA, not AA.
4. Checkout: purchase validation and PayPal Sandbox order-summary display were tested; records available in this reconciliation do not independently document completed payment or all safeguards of WCAG 3.3.4. This is a documentation distinction, not a new detected failure.
5. Full manual WCAG A/AA signoff is not asserted by this derivative record. Absence of a signoff in the reviewed excerpts is not proof that the assessment was never performed.
6. Preserve original audit outputs, checksums, backups and timestamped test evidence. Do not rewrite historical reports or change production scoring.

## Outcome
The verified regression results listed above are completed work and should not be requested again. This document is a reconciliation of supplied evidence, not a claim of direct exhaustive inspection of every current server file.
